Trapped
A Poem by: Meredith A. Jones

A/N: I read some stuff on the site for A Beautiful Mind and thought I should add another poem. I know, I know, another short story written from John's POV. Read this, please, it's short and you might like it! Another note: it's not meant to rhyme.

OoOoO

Trapped inside my own mind.
I want to get out, but I can't.
I need to.
I need to, for Alicia.
I need to, to show them all.
I need to get out, but I can't.
I'm trapped.

No one knows how I feel.
No one sees my pain, no one feels it.

Why do we live, anyway?
Is there a reason?
I can't find it. It's one problem I can't work out.
Why will anybody care about you once you're gone?
Why will you matter after you're stuck in the soil, forgotten?
Would they have reason to?
They wouldn't. Unless you did something for them.
Something that changed their world.

Why will anybody care once I'm gone?

Give me time.
I'll find it.
I'll find the solution.
I'll find the next great idea.
Give me time.

I'm trapped inside my own mind, and I can't get out.

OoOoO
